Flower Tag/Video


 Hello everyone, today I'm sharing a tag I made for a Mini Album I will be working on for myself.  I wanted to re-do my Crinkled Design Paper Technique using Creative Inspiration Paints instead of ink pads. I LOVE using the paints, and thought they would be perfect for this technique. 
VIDEO is BELOW! :)



The flowers were stamped and embossed using CIP's deliquesce black and colored with tickled pink. I did use a tad of water with this color to lighten it up a tad. LOVE the look of the flowers!!!

It's been a LONG time since I've done this technique, but do have some projects with this done and they can be found HERE!

Video Tutorial on Crinkled Design Paper using CIP's


Flowers are from Heartfelt Creations! 
Leaves Trim & Pearls are from Really Reasonable Ribbon


Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!!!

Jointed Taylor Teddy "Be My Valentine"


Hello everyone, today I have a SWEET Taylor Teddy Card made for Victorine Originals Valentine & Heart Challenge that is going on right now. 


Taylor Teddy is a stamped image from Victorine Originals Animal section, that I stamped,Airbrushed and put together using these Heart Shaped brads. He is super cute, and has 5 pieces that you stamp, color and put together. He can be movable, but I chose not to for this card. My sentiment is also from Victorine Originals, and is stamped on a CottageCutz Love tag. The Flower Vine is also a CottageCutz die, and I added buttons to it, and then the flowers, with pearls in the centers. I wanted to add more hearts so I cut the white hearts off of a white pearl heart trim i have. My Ribbon bow(stitched edge brown & pink) is from Really Reasonable Ribbon, as well has the Pearls!


I hope you will JOIN us for our VALENTINE Challenge over at the Victorine Originals Blog HERE!

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!!
Hugs to all,

Elegance

Hello everyone today I'm sharing my card made for The Scrapping Cottage using the New Vintage Release. I also designed my card for Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge.

It's been such a long time since Iv'e been able to participate in SCS challenges, that I thought I should give it a try. I LOVE doing the Sketch Challenge and have missed it dearly.


Now for my card I used CottageCutz Elegant Hat Box Die I cut all pieces with white card stock, and then airbrushed the hat box with copic marker. I used copics to color the flowers,leaves,black hat, and feather. For the pearls, and dots, I used Viva Pearl Pens. All flower centers have half back pearls glued on.


I used Really Reasonable Ribbon for the pieces up at the top. Its the Black Satin Double Ruffled Edge Ribbon. Next I added Black buttons, and the flowers for the centers of all buttons.


Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!!!

CottageCutz/CottageVille -Shabby Chic Cottage


Hello Friends!!!

Today I'm sharing the Inside Cover page of my album. I love the way this one turned out, I used several CottageCutz Dies on this page. and used different techniques


So for my CottageCutz Sweet Sign I used CIP's Black Embossing powder to make the sign shinny , and I LOVE the look it gave it. I also did the SWEET in heat embossing as well.

Next for the CottageCutz Mini Dress Form I used Flower Soft on the top and then colored the bottom green to make it look like a flower tree outside of the house.

For the MINI POODLE I dusted her in pink and black distress inks, and then did a clear embossing powder over her. Embossing Powders can be found here at Creative Inspiration Paints

HOUSE- is CottageCutz CottageVille /Santa's Retreat.LOVE that you can use these all year round, and make them anything you want. I made my a Shabby Chic Cottage!!

Greenery is CottageCutz Ivy , and Then Greenery Dies



All of the scalloped Borders on the bottom 
of the layers are the CottageCutz Oval Doily & Frame , cut and layered. Its nice to be able to use this die in a different way.



Lastly I added room for photo's on the 3 tags , 2 pull out the sides, and the middle one that is behind the Cottage











I used Really Reasonable Ribbon for my blow. the Dove is a button. and all Embossing Powders can be found at Creative Inspiration Paints.
